Polino. In questo tempo sospeso, una piazza nuova. Accadde in Umbria, in Valnerina, in un piccolo lembo di terra fatto di donne e di uomini, di tradizioni e sensazioni, di misticit?, di duro lavoro e spesso anche di miseria. Consapevoli e fieri di appartenere a una terra vera e leale, che sa raccontarsi anche attraverso vecchi ricordi immortalati in una semplice foto. Oggi, dove tutto corre veloce, uno strano fenomeno ci obbliga a vivere un tempo sospeso, relegati in casa, rischiamo di perdere l'identit? sociale. L'idea di questa pubblicazione nasce da semplici considerazioni: in un momento dove i rapporti interpersonali rischiano di perdersi, le relazioni e gli scambi di esperienze si annullano e con questi anche i contatti che, soprattutto nei piccoli paesi, avvenivano nella piazza principale, abbiamo creato una ”piazza nuova” un luogo virtuale che annulla tempo e spazio ponendoci di nuovo a contatto, facendo incontrare i paesani di una volta, che le vicende della vita hanno portato anche lontano dal paese natio, con quelli di oggi. ? su questa ”piazza nuova”, costruita su un profilo social, che giovani e anziani si sono incontrati e parlati di nuovo: confrontandosi e ritrovandosi, in questo tempo sospeso, attraverso semplici vecchie foto, che sono diventate la trasposizione dell'identit? antica e presente. Un tempo sospeso che non ? stato perso, al contrario, ha dato un frutto nuovo: i vecchi cassetti hanno restituito e condiviso contenuti che, diversamente, sarebbero rimasti confinati e forse persi per sempre. Questo tempo sospeso ci ha rubato molti anziani: la nostra memoria, le nostre radici! Questa “piazza nuova”, tutta virtuale, contribuisce a restituire la memoria e l'identit? portandole avanti nel tempo e nello spazio. Il profilo social ”Poiino, com’era raccontato con le vecchie foto” ha il merito, soprattutto in questo tempo, di costituire una sorta di esperimento sociale che connette il passato con il presente, attraverso i ricordi e le testimonianze di chi c’era e di chi c’? ancora, proiettandoci in un futuro di incertezze e dubbi, ma ricco e sicuro dei valori che abbiamo rispolverato e condiviso con queste vecchie foto, duro lavoro, coesione, dignit?, onest? morale, aprendo una finestra sul nostro passato, proiettando in avanti le esperienze e mettendo a frutto identitario e comunitario questo tempo sospeso. I proventi netti delle vendite di questa opera saranno impiegati per restaurare alcuni affreschi dell'eremo di sant'Antonio di Polino.

In this wide-ranging work, now available in paperback, Habermas presents his views on the nature of the social sciences and their distinctive methodology and concerns. He examines, among other things, the traditional division between the natural sciences and the social sciences; the characteristics of social action and the implications of theories of language for social enquiry; and the nature, tasks and limitations of hermeneutics. Habermas' analysis of these and other themes is, as always, rigorous, perceptive and constructive. This brilliant study succeeds in highlighting the distinctive characteristics of the social sciences and in outlining the nature of, and prospects for, critical theory today.

A hopeful yet practical collection of essays exploring the many opportunities and benefits of rewilding and how to get involved today. Highly illustrated with nature photography tracing landscape change over thousands of years. Rewilding has become the key talking point in the modern conservation movement. But it’s commonly misunderstood as a campaign to fill the forests with lynxes, wolves and bears, when in fact the ethos guiding the British rewilding movement is much more nuanced, and much broader in scope. It’s also much more complicated, requiring an in-depth understanding of the complexity of regional ecosystems.Naturalist and photographer David Woodfall has spent years canvassing converts actually working in the countryside, meeting the people on the frontline of rewilding and collecting their stories. The result is a passionate chorus of voices from all facets of the movement. More than 50 contributors share stories of successful examples like the Knepp and Alladale estates, of unique species like the North Atlantic Salmon under threat, of the essential NGOs and trusts, of government agencies and policies, and so much more. Illustrated with Woodfall’s stunning nature photography, Rewilding offers at once an in-depth understanding of an essential movement and the people leading it; and of British ecosystems in all their terribly fragility and intricate beauty.

We live in a time of turbulent change when many of the frameworks that have characterized our societies over the last few centuries – such as the international order of sovereign nation-states – are being called into question. In this new volume of essays and interviews, Habermas focuses his attention on these processes of change and provides some of the resources needed to understand them. What kind of international order should we seek to create in our contemporary global age? How should we understand the political project of Europe and how can the democratic deficit of the EU be overcome? How should we understand the relation between democracy as popular sovereignty, which has become the defining principle of political legitimacy in the modern world, and the idea of basic human rights embodied in the rule of law? Habermas brings his formidable powers of analysis and his distinctive theoretical perspective to bear on these and other key questions of the modern age. His analysis is shaped throughout by his commitment to informed public debate and his powerful advocacy of a postnational renewal of the project of constitutional democracy. Time of Transitions will be essential reading for all students and scholars of sociology and politics, and it will be of interest to anyone concerned with the key social and political questions of our time.
